Training Low Point

I've hit a low point in my training and I need to work through it. Here's what's making it bad...I can't stop eating and gaining weight. Since I essentially have no job, I sit around all day reading, playing Sudoku, applying for jobs, day dreaming, and generally dicking around while waiting for that day's training. I also feel really shitty about two beings that, for separate reasons, I no longer have contact with. (no, not the obvious being.) Anyway, when I am bored, my energy surges. I have a horrible habit of turning to food to kill my energy surges. Thuis I have gained 10 pounds since early December. These 10 pounds are slowing me in the water and probably screwed my running form and caused me to tweak my hammy. I have got to find a better way of dealing with inactivity than eating. I also like spending money to kill time, but that's also extremely detrimental. School starts Feb. 12 and I can't wait. This is an endeavor I can throw myself into. In the meantime, I need to hope that one of these job interviews leads to something into which I can throw my energy.
